After blowing an over play for use on Monday, I am back at attacking the Kings and their NBA Odds for their total tonight against Philadelphia. The Sixers easily helped us cash the over on Monday for one of our teaser plays, but tonight at 207 ½, this one is screaming for the over once again.

There are a couple of things working against us, though. They are probably the reasons this total isn’t north of 210 right now. For starters, the Sixers’ offense has been horrible this season, but they should get back Joel Embiid tonight after he rested Monday, so that is a start.

Another thing working against us is the Kings’ pace. However, we’ve seen Sacramento play up in pace on the road before this season, so I’m not too concerned about Sacramento slowing everything down to a snail’s pace.

What we need to look at here is these two teams’ defenses, which are allowing an average of about 109 points per 100 possessions. We may not get to 100 possessions for each team in this one, but luckily we don’t need to. This is the NBA and when two teams are bad at defense, they will find a way to score. For my NBA expert picks, I am going with the over.
